I rid my bookshelf of the prequels

I recently had to relocate my household library, and prior to moving the books and shelves I decided to ditch both the House and Jihad series as there is no way I will ever read them again. I now have increased my shelving space for actual literature.

Why I did not do this years ago, I do not know.

Good for you. I'm not sure why I still have mine. Mostly to show people how bad they are I guess. I'm going to have to find a safe place for them before my son learns how to read.

Since I don't believe in destroying or defacing printed matter, I suggest getting the same labels you can get for poison bottles.

I don't know what happened to my prequels. I was going to give them to someone and when I went to look for them they were gone.

I think they heard me talking about them and ran away out of fear.

Let's just say its not just personal collections that are getting rid of certain titles.

I still need to get rid of mine. I just don't know how to do that without contaminating somebody else.

I like the idea of going to a KJA book signing, getting him to sign all of them, then refusing to take them back. :)

I threw mine away into paper recycling. That's not destroying the printed matter - only its contents. :wink:
And how can you deface something that is already defaced?

I gt rid of this shit years ago. How could i? Well, when I walk into the bathroom and see one of my kids turds in the toilet, I flush it away.

You just gotta ask your self which is more morally reprehensible; burning books or what KJA has done to a literary masterpiece full of wonderful, incite full ideas. Easy, IMHO.

I threw all of mine into recycling, even the autographed ones. I was not about to let some used book store profit off of my stupidity.

I love seeing how worthless the autographed copies by BH/KJA really are on the market (no offense Kwisatz, if you read this..). It's just another indicator how little people really care about them and their work.

Mine went to the recycling bin in the local tip a while ago. Even the pikeys who hang around the tip waiting to run off with second hand tvs turned their noses up at mcdine.

I read that as, "Homeless people won't even burn mcDune as fuel!"

It must smell less to burn dried shit.

Well the difference between mcdune and dried shit is that dried shit became dried, when mcdune is as dry as dried shit from page one.

Even the lowly turd serves a biological function.

Whereas mcdune is purposeless waste of space and energy.
